shoebox progress pics

I got the box into the garage finally a week ago. last weekend tore out the interior, removed all gl*** and trim and started grinding. here's some pics from the other night. its all ready for a the chop, but until i get the buds over for a couple days of that, bbqing, and drinking, I'll be continuing grinding, getting under the hood cleaned out (no engine or ******), making patch panels, and looking for an engine (not an sbc).



please no comments on the splatter

 

bare metal is beautiful.

Looks great. Looks like a good car to start with, shoebox Fords are cool

 

Looking cool. How much chop you doin? Stickin with Ford power, or branching out?

 

Nice start.

How about sticking a Man o war 427 SBF in it,500 hp, but dressing it to look like a bone stock '62 260 ,painted valve covers,stock air cleaner and all.

thats what id love to do with mine.......

 

I whole-heartedly agree with this! Man-o-War has such a scary sound to it...

 

thanks, sorry, i lost this thread! hahah. actually, i have a 62 cadillac 390 im putting in. so she'll be a fordillac when done. not sure on the chop specs yet, but thinking 5-6 inches but that could change.

 

Looks good, man. If you need another dude to help drink beer...uh, help work on it, let me know.

Right on, PM me some directions and I'll see you next Monday! I'll bring pics of my chopped '51.
